🎙️ Episode 31 – Danny Jung | What Coaches REALLY Look For in Recruiting https://www.instagram.com/jungbaseball?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== https://greenriverwhiskey.com/ https://www.bardstownbourbon.com/ Are parents and players chasing the wrong things? This week on the Travel Dads Podcast, we sit down with Danny Jung — former Notre Dame player and former Duke Baseball coaching staff member — to pull back the curtain on the modern recruiting process. From college clubhouses to recruiting rooms, Danny has seen baseball through every lens imaginable — player, coach, evaluator, and mentor. And what he shares might surprise you. We dive into the truth about travel ball vs. high school baseball, social media recruiting, player projections, rankings, development, and what actually gets athletes noticed. Danny also gives an inside look at Duke-level recruiting and explains why talent alone isn’t always enough. 🔥 In this episode: ⚾ What college coaches REALLY look for ⚾ Why social media can help — or hurt — recruiting ⚾ The truth about rankings and exposure events ⚾ Multi-sport athletes vs. specialization ⚾ Development habits that become a “cheat code” later ⚾ Recruiting myths parents need to stop believing ⚾ What separates good players from recruitable players If you think recruiting is only about showcases, rankings, and highlight videos… this episode may change your perspective. #TravelDadsPodcast #BaseballRecruiting #TravelBall #CollegeBaseball #DukeBaseball #NotreDame #PlayerDevelopment #YouthBaseball #BaseballParents #Recruiting
